Zine Review – Never
Kneel Number 2
By Seth Graham
half letter sized, 14 pages
I absolutely need to read issues one and three of
Seth’s zine. Why? Because in issue 2’s fourteen slim pages, Seth expresses so
many thoughts and ideas that I have grown up with around “God” and religion and
reading Never Kneel was extremely affirming that I finally feel I’m not the
only one who feels / thinks this way.
I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian family, was drawn
toward Catholicism for a time, became an atheist and then evolved into a
heathen / pagan / animist hybrid. I still believe in a God, even if that God is
the energy of the universe that pulses through us. As for the God(s) that all
religions reference? They are human created mythologies, mostly created to
control society and people’s beliefs and behaviors. Original sin and the need
for personal salvation from an external spiritual source (that you somehow
internalize by saying the right prayers) is a human-made construct.
Never Kneel gives
us permission to think differently about God & religion. I’ll say amen to
that.
